Regarding to the context of globalization and various losses that people experience, the socialization specific of children (age 7–11) who have experienced loss in the family was explored in this research. The main socio-moral values, that make the values’ internalization content as the basis of socialization, were identified. The peculiarities of values’ interception on the basis of behavior and emotions were set as well. Also the differences and similarities were stressed among the grieving and non-grieving children’s values internalization mechanisms. The survey has revealed both external and internal factors that may influence socialization processes for such children. Among external ones would be the experienced loss in the family, child’s status in the class, teacher’s attitude towards the child’s experienced loss, and educational help character. Among internal ones – child’s need to satisfy self identification through his/her attitude towards the experienced loss within family, towards the school, his/her status in the class, and self. The educational experiment allowed evaluating the effectiveness of main strategies to make grieving children’s socialization much favorable. Such children’s socialization becomes much easier, when it has helped them to: 1) have much positive (higher) status in the class, and 2) satisfy their need of self identification.

Viena aktualiausių visuomenės sveikatos problemų yra vaikų ir jaunimo sveikata. Šiandien dominuojantys neigiami socialiniai, elgsenos ir aplinkos veiksniai žaloja jauno žmogaus sveikatą, ilgainiui sukeldami neigiamas pasekmes – somatinius ar psichinius sveikatos sutrikimus. Pastaraisiais metais Lietuvoje atlikti moksleivių, jaunimo elgesio ir gyvenimo būdo tyrimai parodė didelį psichosomatinių negalavimų ir sveikatos sutrikimų paplitimą. Tyrimų duomenys taip pat rodo ir tendenciją, kad didėjant amžiui, jaunuoliai savo sveikatą vertina prasčiau.
